Abstract:
The general purposes of the Salem Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan are to:
define the scope of and experience with natural hazards affecting the community;
assess the ongoing hazard mitigation activities in the community, including approaches that the City is
currently utilizing;
evaluate additional mitigation measures that should be undertaken;
define a strategy for implementation of mitigation projects and activities by all stakeholders (including
cities, the County, citizens, businesses, others);
serve as a qualifying document for various hazard mitigation programs which are coordinated through the
Office of Oregon Emergency Management (OEM); and
act as a resource document, subject to change, as the community refines hazard mitigation goals,
strategies, and implementation. [From the Plan]
